MLB Major League Baseball

Under the direction of Bud Sigg, the Commissioner of Baseball, MLB takes control of the hiring and maintenance of all the sport's umpiring crews, labor, television contracts and negotiates marketing. Major League Baseball maintains a unique, controlling relationship over the sport, including the majority of minor league baseball’s assets. This is largely because of a 1922 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Federal Baseball Club v. National League, which held that baseball is not interstate commerce. Therefore, MLB is not subject to federal antitrust law.
